5 STEEZY WINTER TRAINERS

By Lakeisha Goedluck, 20 December 2018

If boots are too bulky for your liking, adding a few pairs of trainers to your rotation should be at the top of your Christmas list this year. From one of Nike’s newest silhouettes to a dad-approved pair of New Balance, here are five steezy kicks available on ASOS right now.

Nike Vapormax Plus

Sneakerheads everywhere rejoiced earlier this year when the Nike Vapormax Plus silhouette was released in all black. A hybrid of the Nike Vapormax and the Nike Air Max Plus, the trainer sits on a sole entirely made of air. Comfortable and a prime example of cutting-edge footwear design, bag yourself this grey pair to smash it when it comes to sneaks this season.

New Balance 608

Tired of your dad feeling proper smug because you keep rocking styles he wore as a youngster? Sorry, mate, but the dad trainer – as it’s so affectionately named – is in it for the long haul. Maker of old-man-approved creps New Balance knows what’s up when it comes to reissuing a solid retro silhouette. These clean white 608s are the minimal kicks you need to up your sartorial game this winter (and make your papa proud, more importantly).

Reebok DMX Daytona

Reebok is another big-name brand prone to updating key models from its archive and every one of your favourite TV presenters as a kid probably owned a pair of DMX Daytonas. If you’re inclined to favour footwear styles that are a bit more in-your-face, opt for this iteration of the silhouette with hints of canary yellow and aquamarine.

Reebok Aztrek

In case you hadn’t gathered by now, it’s all about adding old-school kicks to your collection this year. Thicker soled in comparison to the brand's more athletic styles (think the Workout and the Club C 85), the Reebok Aztrek is the shoe with more substance to get on board with. The 90s influence is so apparent here – just peep those highlighter-yellow details on the upper.

adidas Ultra Tech

Mind-blowing design features aside, the real reason everyone loves wearing trainers is because they’re extremely comfortable in comparison to most other forms of footwear. If you’re after a pair of shoes that feel like slippers, then the adidas Ultra Tech should be an instant cop. Imagined in subtle shades of blue, grey and pastel pink, you’ll feel like you’re walking on foam with these bad boys on your feet.
